Chapter 244
What was Josh Batton thinking? As a popular celebrity, he was not supposed to say things like that.
Xyla Quest immediately picked up the phone and called Josh. As soon as he answered, she asked, “Mister, can you please think carefully before you speak?”
“I did think about it carefully. What’s the matter? Do you think I said something wrong?” said Josh with a chuckle.
Josh was sitting in the makeup area of a studio while he waited for a magazine shoot. Apart from his stylist and the stylist’s assistant, there were many other female staff who worked for the magazine company around him.
He was wearing a white shirt on the inside and a hounds tooth coat on the outside. The ladies were all taking photos of him with their phones. Each of them gasped at how handsome he looked while they did so. Although these young women were ogling him, Josh never once looked at them. Instead, he smiled at his own reflection in the mirror, with his phone in his hand, waiting for Xyla to say something.
“Do you have any clue how many young female fans you have? Don’t you think they’ll be jealous about you saying you intend to seduce me? What if they misunderstand that something is going on between us, and you end up losing your fans?” said Xyla after letting out a long, helpless sigh.
“I don’t mind,” replied Josh.
Xyla felt even more annoyed. “You don’t mind, but I do, okay? You are a growing artiste. Could you please look after your reputation?”
“About that, I do look after my reputation,” said Josh.
“Do you really think so?”
“Yeah.”
“If you do, please explain to the people on social medias that you were only joking,” said Xyla.
With everyone watching him, Josh stood up. “I don’t like lying.”
After making his way to a corner of the studio where nobody else was around, he leaned lazily against the wall and smiled. When he smiled, it almost seemed like there were stars shining brightly in his eyes. Although the lights in the studio were bright, none of them could compare to the brightness in his eyes.
As soon as Xyla heard what he said, she was stunned. “What do you mean?” she asked with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
Why did Xyla find what Josh said a little romantic?
What did he mean when he said he was not lying? Could he really want to seduce her? In other words, did he mean he was into her?
“Idiot. It means what you think it means,” said Josh affectionately, chuckling light-heartedly.
Although people walked past him from behind now and then, his full attention was on the phone conversation. Occasionally, someone would stare at his face from the side. However, he would never turn around to look at them.
By now, Xyla was thoroughly shocked. Her heart clenched while her mind went blank. None of this was within her expectations. Josh had never shown any signs of liking her, so Xyla would never have thought that he actually had feelings for her.
A gentle female voice could be heard from the other end of the phone conversation, “Brother Josh… The shoot is about to start…”
Josh hurriedly finished his conversation with Xyla, saying, “Okay, I’ll look for you tonight. We can have a good chat then. I’m getting back to work now to earn money for you…”
With those final words, he hung up.
Although the last part of what he said should have been normal, as he indeed worked for X Entertainment and could earn a lot of money for Xyla, she somehow felt it sounded a little romantic. It felt as if a husband was telling his wife ‘I am earning money for you to spend’.
After putting her phone down on the table, Xyla felt as if her mind was in a mess.
Regarding Josh, she had never thought about their relationship in that way. Although he was indeed unusually handsome, and everyone who met him would definitely desire him, Xyla was an exception.
